Right beneath us, the Earth offers an incredible resource — its natural energy, which holds the potential for healing. This simple yet powerful connection to the Earth, often called grounding or earthing, may be one of nature's best gifts.
Accessible to all, grounding can be as simple as walking barefoot outdoors or even hugging a tree. For those unable to ground outside, indoor earthing products may offer a potential alternative while you meditate, sleep, or work. However, their efficacy still needs to be confirmed by scientific evidence.
One of the leading companies providing earthing products is GroundingWell. In this article, I’ll explore the company’s products, their quality, policies, and certifications. Together with the Healthnews Research team, we’ve checked these items for material quality, durability, and, in some cases, comfort.

What is GroundingWell?
GroundingWell is a company that has a united goal to provide grounding products to address holistic needs.
According to the brand, their journey began at the end of 2022. It was created after the founder, Tom, discovered the benefits of grounding for the first time. Although he was initially skeptical, he remained open to exploring new health trends.
One day, while suffering from a cold, he claims to have made his own grounding device by inserting a copper wire into the grounding port of an outlet. He noticed that when connecting with the wire, his well-being improved. Inspired by this experience, Tom decided to start GroundingWell to share the potential healing benefits of grounding with as many people as possible.

Our product evaluation
Material quality
When I first unboxed GroundingWell’s Fitted Sheet, the quality of the material stood out. It felt sturdy and well-made, with breathable cotton that may suit different skin types. The stitching looked solid and well-done, suggesting a decent level of craftsmanship that should hold up with regular use.
Ease of use
Setting up the sheet was straightforward. I placed it over the bed and connected it to a grounding socket, following clear setup instructions. The grounding cord was long enough to reach even the furthest plug in the room, which added flexibility in positioning. However, tucking the sheet over the mattress corners was a bit challenging, especially with a heavy mattress like mine, but overall, it fit well.
Comfort
From my perspective, the GroundingWell Fitted Sheet felt just like a regular sheet, with no noticeable difference in texture or comfort. It was soft and breathable, making it comfortable for overnight use. While I appreciated the relaxed environment it created, I personally did not notice any changes in my sleep or well-being.
Customer reviews
What I noticed customers liked
In my research, I found that many users reported improved sleep and reduced aches. They also mentioned that the setup was straightforward and that the sheets felt comfortable against the skin.
What I noticed customers didn’t like
Some reviews expressed disappointment in not experiencing noticeable benefits after regular use. A few customers questioned the organic claim, so I was initially curious about that, but the sheet appeared high-quality to me.
GroundingWell™ Bedsheet
Amazon rating — 3.0 ⭐⭐⭐
One of the other top GroundingWell products is its bedsheet. This design is intended to provide grounding while you sleep, potentially providing several health benefits, according to the brand. It is especially suitable for individuals seeking partial grounding for their body.
Key product features
- Size: fits all mattress sizes, including single, double, queen, king, and California king, measuring 104.3" x 23.6" (265 cm x 60 cm)
- Included with purchase: the product, connection cord, grounding converter, and instructional guide
- Materials: 95% organic cotton and 5% conductive silver
- Color: off-white with gray silver grids
- Care: cold machine washable for easy upkeep
- Best for: anyone seeking partial coverage for grounding
Our product evaluation
Material quality
Upon unboxing, the GroundingWell Bedsheet had a neutral, natural scent, which was refreshing and non-chemical. The material quality stood out right away — it felt durable and well-crafted. The stitching was secure and evenly done, which added to the impression of careful construction. The fabric itself had a softness that felt gentle against the skin, giving a sense of comfort and quality. From the first look, it’s clear this sheet is designed with both durability and comfort in mind, promising a solid addition to any bedding setup.
Ease of use
Like the fitted sheet, this bed sheet was also straightforward to set up, if not easier, since you don’t have to adjust the corners like you would with a full sheet. Instead, you just lay the sheet on the sleeping side of the mattress for grounding and secure the corners on each side. Connecting the sheet to the cord and plug was a simple process as well.
Comfort
I found the bedsheet to be soft and comfortable, with a nice fit that complements my other bedding. The material has a smooth, almost slippery texture, which might not absorb sweat as well, but it feels cool enough for warmer nights. However, for those who, like myself, move around a lot at night, the sheet may wrinkle and impact comfort.
Customer reviews
What I noticed customers liked
Many users reported improvements in sleep quality, noting that they experienced deeper sleep and felt less groggy and more rested upon waking. Additionally, many customers appreciated the durability and quality of the materials.
What I noticed customers didn’t like
Like with the previous product review, some customers also reported the grounding feature not working as expected. Some mentioned issues with the plug being sewn on the wrong side. Additionally, one customer mentioned that she had difficulty fitting the sheet onto her mattress, despite the brand stating it fits all sizes.
GroundingWell™ Mat
Amazon rating — 3.6 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Whether you're new to grounding or have been practicing for a while, GroundingWell Mat stands out as an excellent option for grounding enthusiasts. It may simplify and enhance your experience at home, in the office, or at your favorite yoga studio.

Our product evaluation
Material quality
Upon unboxing, my coworker who tested this product noticed an initial smell that reminded him of plastic or synthetic materials. It was a bit off-putting at first. However, he mentioned that the smell disappeared after a few days. Additionally, the mat had formed some wrinkles after a few weeks of use, which some might interpret as a sign of low quality.

He worked while resting his hands on the mat, which added to the convenience when moving the computer mouse. The cord length provided enough flexibility for use in both office and home settings, and the clear instructions made the setup hassle-free.

Are GroundingWell products simple and easy to use?
GroundingWell products are indeed easy and simple to use. The products the Healthnews Research team and I tested were easy to navigate. Once you open the box, it contains informational leaflets that clearly explain how to set up and use the product, so there’s no confusion.
Additionally, when you take the product out of the box, there’s not much assembly required — you simply attach the product to the grounding cord and then plug it into the socket.
What grounding products help to achieve
Grounding products are believed to connect you to the Earth while you sleep, relax, or work. The concept of grounding is rooted in reconnecting with nature. Some scientific evidence suggests that natural grounding, like walking barefoot outdoors, may help reduce inflammation, fatigue, and pain, while also enhancing sleep, and improving mood.
However, it's important to note that there isn’t enough scientific proof stating that commercial grounding products deliver the same potential benefits as direct contact with nature. Research on grounding and its devices is still evolving, and while anecdotal evidence is strong, conclusive scientific support is yet to be established.

To determine the quality of GroundingWell products, the Research team and I evaluated items using the criteria listed below.

GroundingWell user feedback
Amazon — 3.0/3.6 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Trustpilot — 4.2 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
BBB® — 1.27 ⭐
Customer reviews of GroundingWell are generally very positive. Many users reported enjoying the products and experiencing improvements in their sleep quality and overall well-being.
Customers have also commented on the durability and high quality of the products. GroundingWell has a rating of 4.2 stars on Trustpilot, while ratings on Amazon vary by product, with scores of 3.0 to 3.6 stars.
However, some customers on Reddit mentioned delays in receiving their orders and difficulties reaching customer support by phone, although they noted that email responses were prompt.
Additionally, GroundingWell holds a C+ rating from the Better Business Bureau (BBB) but is not accredited. In the past three years, the company has addressed 27 complaints, all of which were resolved in the last year.
How to use GroundingWell devices for optimal results
When using GroundingWell devices, it’s best to wear comfortable, breathable clothing that allows for easy movement and skin contact with the grounding surface. Natural fibers like cotton or linen are ideal, as they enhance breathability and comfort during your grounding sessions.
As for timing, grounding may be beneficial at any time of day, but many people find that morning sessions help set a positive tone, while evening sessions promote relaxation and improve sleep quality. Grounding during the day can also serve as a refreshing break, especially when you're feeling stressed or fatigued.
Incorporating meditation or guided meditation into your grounding practice may further enhance its benefits. Engaging in mindfulness techniques can help calm your mind and body, deepening your relaxation and amplifying the positive effects of grounding. Whether you choose to meditate before, during, or after your grounding session, it can create a more profound experience that supports both mental and physical well-being.
What to expect from your first use of GroundingWell products
During my initial experience with GroundingWell products, I didn’t notice the proposed effects. However, it's important to note that the effects of grounding may take more than one use to become noticeable.
While several potential grounding benefits are supported by some research, there is limited scientific evidence backing the use of commercial grounding products for similar benefits. Some users on Reddit and other platforms have reported feelings of relaxation and improved sleep, but I cannot personally support these claims, as neither my colleague nor I experienced such benefits ourselves.
Grounding sheet vs. grounding mat: which is right for you?
Choosing the best grounding product depends on your primary use. For activities like meditation or yoga, a grounding mat may be ideal. These mats resemble yoga mats, offering a comfortable, slip-resistant surface that allows you to stay focused on your poses.
If you're interested in grounding benefits while sleeping, grounding bed sheets could be more suitable. Placed beneath your regular sheets, they deliver potential benefits in a comfortable, unobtrusive way. Organic materials in grounding sheets provide breathability, which is especially beneficial since we tend to sweat at night.
Grounding sheets also offer easy maintenance — they’re machine washable, adding a layer of convenience not available with grounding mats.
Common misconceptions about grounding
Here are a few of the most common misconceptions about grounding:
Grounding is a placebo
Many people state that grounding is simply a placebo. While commercial grounding products lack scientific evidence to confirm their grounding effects, some research suggests that grounding may provide health benefits by supposedly altering human electrophysiological and physiological processes.
Grounding, or earthing, is a practice where physical contact with the Earth’s surface may support one’s health. Proponents of grounding claim that the principle behind grounding is that direct contact with the Earth allows the body to absorb electrons, creating an electrical balance in the body. This balance is believed to reduce inflammation, enhance sleep, and improve overall well-being.
Immediate effects
A common belief is that grounding will deliver instant results, such as improved mood, reduced pain, or better sleep right after the first use. However, grounding, like many wellness practices, typically requires regular extended use to experience noticeable effects. Benefits may build up gradually, and some users report improvements after several weeks of consistent practice.
Same benefits as nature
Many people assume that grounding products offer identical benefits to natural grounding, such as walking barefoot on grass or soil. However, while grounding mats and sheets aim to mimic these effects by connecting you to the earth, the scientific evidence comparing the two is still limited. Personal experiences vary widely, and some may find the connection to natural surfaces more beneficial.
Our verdict about GroundingWell
In conclusion, while some low-quality scientific evidence suggests that regular grounding may help reduce inflammation, decrease fatigue, and improve sleep, research on grounding products — such as those from GroundingWell — remains limited.
However, many people report positive experiences with GroundingWell products, so if you’re enthusiastic about trying grounding, GroundingWell is a great brand to consider.
What we liked
We found that GroundingWell bed sheets appeared to be made from high-quality materials. The setup process was straightforward and easy, aided by the brand’s clear instructions on the product's intended use.
We also appreciated the long cord, which can reach distant electrical sockets, a helpful feature if one is not nearby.
What we didn’t like
One downside was that the grounding mat emitted a plastic smell upon opening. After a couple of weeks of use, my colleague noticed the mat started to wrinkle, losing its comfort and making it harder to work with a keyboard and mouse.
Another downside to GroundingWell is that many of the product claims lack supporting evidence on their website.
For instance, there is no certification displayed to verify that their products are made from organic cotton, despite such claims. Additionally, they assert that their products are dermatologically tested, but no evidence is provided on the website.
Lastly, the website presents conflicting information; the service policy states that they do not guarantee product or service quality or correct any errors. However, the refund policy section offers a 90-day money-back guarantee.
In my opinion, GroundingWell would benefit from aligning the information across its website and clarifying details so customers know what to expect.
